This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us... and we drown.
Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.
T.S. EliotA heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.
I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
